"The Lancet is a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal. It is among the world's oldest and best-known general medical journals"

Journal impact factor of 59 is crazy high, far higher than any scientific journal I've published in.
I think what he meant to say was that it was not a randomized study, but instead an extraction of EMR data that divides into different groups based on clinical decisions and not any true randomization.

unless it’s a double blind randomised study it’s worth jack ****

that’s like saying unless you are 5 star restaurant you are jack ****.

it is nonsense.

The scientific analysis can be applied to carefully designed studies.

And scientists can analyze data from a population.

Nope. That is the only way to truly measure the worth of a treatment modality. Anything else you can interpret however you see fit.

The perfect is the enemy of the good and useful. suppose we know of 10,000 people who take treatment x for disease y. Normally 20% of the untreated patients die. None if the 10,000 die.

this would be great news and actionable. Even thought the ideal double blind study was not employed.
